Nellie's nose wins her pretty nose competitions, but one day-one dreadful day-she pushes her finger up and it gets stuck! Everyone tries to get the finger out, but when Henry, casually swinging saw/hay-fork/pliers, etc., nonchalantly offers to get it out he's ignored, until in desperation (when even a rocket to the moon has failed to dislodge said finger) he's at last asked to try and proves . . . well, that would be telling. Tony Ross keeps churning them out-super books that kids adore and parents greet with groans of 'Oh no, not again' as they read them aloud for the umpteenth time.
